Almost a new Chicken family!

[Glowormia]

Hello! I have baby chicks on order and we are sooo excited. We have a HUGE enclosed pen, but currently no home for them or nesting area. We have 15 chicks coming. Suggestions on the best way to go about making them or buying them sufficient housing? THANKS!

Okay, so I know that's a lot of reading. But ask questions and peruse the posts - do searchers because whatever you want to know, it has almost certainly been asked before. Most of all, have fun and enjoy your poultry adventure!!
